Mick,

So when are you 'upgrading' your van to similar spec? :D :twisted:

edit: yeah, tea is ok too. A good machine will have a hot water take-off from the boiler. Perfect for making a good cup of tea!

Daniel, I would have to "downgrade" to a Merc!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hopefully Donna forgets about this rig soon - my side of the bed is being drawn up for conversion as I sit here :lol: :lol:

I assume there'll be a campfire. And a stick. And some sort of a metal can or pot of some sort.

I'll be bringing some English Breakfast tea bags.

If you put them in your van... you'll have a tea van.

Only if you bring some tea as well as those &^%$# bags
You also need boiling water, so the billy & campfire should do the trick. Personally I use a whisperlite. Faster & cleaner.

Not sure about that plumbers nightmare in the back of that van though. Looks like a pile of junk designed to lower fuel efficiency. I'll bet it can't make a decent pot of tea though. :D

Hey Mick,
There is a van like that already in byron. Better still, Bay Leaf cafe in town makes mind blowing coffee, look for the place full of locals.

Yep we have a big Barbie Plate and plenty of stuff to burn. Sticks, they are all over the place. :wink:

Mick, even though, apparently, you drink tea, if this was your van, even I know you wouldn't have milk jugs sitting on top of the machine getting warm, and have a hopper full of ground coffee getting stale!

At least there are no syrup bottles in sight!

That's cool Mark - Donna will be able to get her fix and we can keep our van (she would never miss out on her supply of caffeine - just don't tell her where the best coffee is made - it'll cost me a fortune :lol: ).

Leigh and Mr Darcy, we always have tea available in my van - just don't tell Donna I said that!

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Nah, she knows that I would prefer a/your 85 1.4 (and for the money the van would cost, it could be a Zeiss 85). :lol:

My brand new sleeping bag has a hidden item pocket... so when we find it, we can always store tea in there, Mick. :lol:
